I'm having some trouble trying to overload the new operator with g++2.2.2.
Is there some switch to turn on overloading for the new operator? 

The following example program doesn't complile under g++ but does under 
cfront3.0.  Can someone tell me what's up here?  Email if possible. 
				Thanks.

-------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

inline void *operator new(size_t, void *addr) { 
    return addr;
}

int main() {
    char buffer[1000];
    strcpy(buffer, "Hello Gnu World\n");          // I realize this is weird
                                                  // but its just an example.
    char *s = new (buffer) char;                  // g++ gives error here.
    printf("buffer is %s", buffer);               
}
